How do your Sessions work?
There are six 8-week Sessions in our 2023-2024 year. Each session has 8 classes. Once enrolled, enrollment carries over to the next session unless you give a two week notice to drop from the next session. The summer session, Session 6 does NOT carry over to Session 1. You must re-enroll for the new 2024-2025 Fall Session.
Can I enroll my child at any time?
Our Sessions are on-going. You do not have to wait until the beginning of a session for your child to start classes. Enrollment can begin during an on-going session. Price for the session will be prorated for the number of classes remaining in the session.
When is my child’s class payment due?
When you enroll online, you are required to place a credit card on file and payment is due immediately for the current session. Enrollment is ongoing so payments will be charged on the designated due dates for future sessions. Payment for sessions are due in ADVANCE and charged to your credit card on file in a current session for the next session. When you enroll, you will be emailed a gym calendar with the payment due dates listed above each session. To withdraw, you must give the office a two week notice prior to the payment due date.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between gymnastics and tumbling?
A gymnastics class will incorporate most all events. For Girls it is bars, vault, beam, and floor. Boys will have bars, vault, floor and rings. Tumbling will teach floor skills only with the focus on learning a back handspring. Both gymnastics and tumbling classes will include strength and conditioning exercises.
Can I HOLD a spot in a class?
Classes cannot be held for future enrollment. . All enrollments are done online, through the Class Parent Portal, by a parent or legal guardian. Once you enroll your child, classes will start immediately.
What if my child misses a class?
We realize that perfect attendance is impossible. Therefore, we offer make-up classes for your child. The class must be missed prior to scheduling a make-up class. You have 30 days to schedule the class from the date missed. We schedule just two weeks out. Reservations must be made in advance by calling the gym office. NOTE: No make-ups are needed if your class falls on a scheduled closing date, as they are not part of the 8-week session. If you are scheduling a make-up class, you MUST have office staff confirmation.
Can I enroll a friend or family members child under my account?
Under NO circumstances is this allowed. A parent or LEGAL guardian must enroll their own children.
What skills are taught in my child’s class?
How do I enroll my child in classes?
All enrollment is done online through our website. If your child has previous experience, you may need to have them evaluated. You may call the office to schedule an evaluation. If your child is brand new to the sport and has little or no experience, you can enroll them into a Girls or Boys Level 1-2 if the are 5 years old or up. Ages 3 years and 4 years go into a Preschool class and need to be potty trained. A child must be at least 6 years old to go into a Tumbling 1 class and 8 yrs. old for a Trampoline class.
Our enrollment process is ongoing. We do not have specific enrollment for each session, only Session 1 of a new season. Once enrolled, the student is automatically enrolled into subsequent sessions through session 6, unless notice is given to drop by the specified date. To have the opportunity to get into a class, you must place your children on a waitlist as that is how we fill our open spots in classes. EVERYONE must re-enroll for the new Fall Session each year. Those enrolled in a summer program, class or camp will have priority registration before it is open to the public.
What should my child wear/bring?
For girls, any leotard, bare feet, long hair tied back and no jewelry. For boys, sweat pants in winter, shorts in the summer, no buckles or belts. T-shirts should be tucked in and no socks. All athletes are encouraged to bring a water bottle.
How do I drop a class?
You must notify the office (not the instructor) of your intent to discontinue by the payment due date. If we do not receive notification, you will be charged for the full session. This is very important to notate as there are NO REFUNDS.
How do I find out if the gym is open during inclement weather?
